Abstract

Objective: Experiences of racism have been linked to increased race-based traumatic stress symptoms. However, studies in this area have not focused solely on Chinese individuals in North America, such as those in the United States and Canada. Furthermore, little is known about protective factors that may buffer the adverse impact of racism on race-based traumatic stress symptoms. Addressing these limitations, this study examined (a) the relationship between racism and race-based traumatic stress symptoms and (b) the protective role of both individual and collective resilience in the association between racism and race-based traumatic stress symptoms among people of Chinese heritage in Canada.

Method: A community sample of 367 Chinese heritage in Canada (M_age = 33.9; 46.59% women) completed self-report questionnaires.

Results: Moderation analyses using SPSS PROCESS Model 1 showed that greater experiences of racism were significantly associated with increased race-based traumatic stress symptoms. Collective resilience, but not individual resilience, buffered the adverse effects of racism on race-based traumatic stress symptoms.

Conclusion: This study enhances the understanding of race-based traumatic stress among Chinese individuals and highlights the need to foster collective resilience and community-based support systems for this population. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).

加拿大华人种族主义经历与种族创伤应激症状：心理弹性的调节作用

目的：种族主义经历与基于种族的创伤应激症状的增加有关。然而，这一领域的研究并不仅仅关注北美的华人，比如美国和加拿大的华人。此外，对于可能缓解种族主义对基于种族的创伤应激症状的不利影响的保护性因素，我们所知甚少。针对这些局限性，本研究考察了(a)种族主义与种族创伤压力症状之间的关系，以及(b)在加拿大华裔种族主义与种族创伤压力症状之间的关联中，个人和集体弹性的保护作用。方法：加拿大华人社区样本367人(Mage = 33.9；46.59%女性)完成自我报告问卷。结果：使用SPSS PROCESS模型1的调节分析显示，种族主义经历的增加与种族创伤应激症状的增加显著相关。集体弹性，而不是个人弹性，缓冲了种族主义对基于种族的创伤应激症状的不利影响。结论：本研究增强了对中国人种族创伤应激的理解，并强调了为这一人群培养集体适应能力和社区支持系统的必要性。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA，版权所有）。
